Chapter 434 - 434 I'm sure you'll regret coming

434 I’m sure you’ll regret coming

Shi Qingluo could feel that her young husband was emotionally affected.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist. “I just thought of it suddenly. I know you’ve always been very concerned about these retired soldiers.”

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her tightly. “My wife knows me best.”

His little wife was so good. No wonder there were always shameless people who wanted to have her.

Hmph, hmph, he would naturally guard against them and not let those people bother his wife.

Another two days passed.

Zhuo Zheng thought of all kinds of methods, but he still couldn’t steal the formulas.

In addition, he didn’t sleep well every night and had to work the whole day.

This time, he coaxed the manager with a sweet mouth, but the manager ignored him on helping him to change his job.

The food was not bad in the eyes of others, but it was hard for him to swallow.

So, he was on the verge of a breakdown.

He couldn’t take it anymore and asked the manager to tell Shi Qingluo that he wanted to see her.

If Liang Mingyu and his sister were not on their way here, Shi Qingluo would naturally not want to see Zhuo Zheng and would have to let him continue to be tortured.

However, because of her little hubby’s idea, she asked the manager to bring Zhuo Zheng over.

Zhuo Zheng quickly arrived at Shi Qingluo’s office.

He put on a pained and pitiful expression. “Sister, you finally come and see me.”

Shi Qingluo noticed that Zhuo Zheng had lost a lot of weight.

He looked extremely haggard and had dark circles under his eyes.

She felt that he deserved it, but she didn’t show it on his face.

Instead, she looked at him worriedly and asked, “Are you sick? You look pale!”

Zhuo Zheng nodded, “Yes, I’m sick. I couldn’t sleep all night and I don’t have the energy to work during the day, so I’m feeling more and more lethargic.

“Sister, can I not work in the workshop and work with you instead?”

He didn’t plan to steal the formulas anymore. It was too torturous.

Sometimes, he felt that there was something wrong with himself.

He was clearly the young master, so why did he have to personally steal the formulas?

Wouldn’t it be fine to just let his subordinates do it?

As for proving himself, it was no longer important.

The two workshops and the shared dormitories were not ideal places to stay.

Those poor and unruly people liked it, but he hated it to death.

He had heard that Shi Qingluo had come up with a few more ideas, such as a cooperative farming project.

He decided that he would just stay by her side.

He had gone to the workshop to steal the formulas.

Now that he thought about it, he felt that he was stupid.

If he were to follow Shi Qingluo, not only would he have the chance to get the recipe, he might even learn a lot.

So he came to her again.

“Elder sister, I’m just a scholar. I’m really clumsy in the workshop’s work, so I don’t want to be a burden to the workshop,” he said in a righteous tone.

The workshop had been set up by Shi Qingluo and her husband, so he naturally couldn’t say anything bad about it, or she would definitely be unhappy.

Therefore, he could only swallow his own heartache.

Shi Qingluo looked at his act and found it funny.

However, she had to admit that Zhuo Zheng was smart and had a high EQ.

He didn’t look for her to complain about the workshop and other people.

On the contrary, he acted as if he could not do it and did not want to be a burden to the workshop, so she could not scold or blame him.

“But it’s hard to be with me, ” she said with a smile. “I often go to the village to teach the villagers how to raise pigs, chickens, and ducks.”

“I don’t feel tired following you around. Instead, I can learn a lot of things.” Zhuo Zheng smiled shyly.

“In the future, I’m going to take the imperial examination and become an official. I’ll have a lot of experience then.”

Shi Qingluo realized that he really knew how to phrase his words.

She pretended to think for a moment and then said, “All right, then you don’t have to work in the workshop today. You’ll start working with me tomorrow.”

Indeed, she couldn’t torment Zhuo Zheng anymore. Otherwise, with his dark eye circles and haggardness, even if he were to save Liang Mingmin, she would definitely not like him.

Therefore, she had to make use of the time now to let Zhuo Zheng recuperate for the next few days.

No matter what, Zhuo Zheng’s appearance was not bad.

He was especially good at pretending to be obedient, had a sweet mouth, and looked very harmless.

If he recuperated properly and dressed up carefully, he would still attract a lot of attention on the streets.

Therefore, there was still hope of attracting Liang Mingmin’s attention.

Zhuo Zheng was overjoyed. He looked at Shi Qingluo with bright eyes. “Sister, you’re the best.

“Can I move out of the workshop’s dormitory and live somewhere else?”

Otherwise, he would really go crazy if this continued.

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment. “Alright, why don’t you go back to the inn to stay?

“Since you’re working for me, I’ll pay for the accommodation. In the future, you can come to the county government office to eat with us.”

Now, the county government had hired a kitchen lady to cook, and all the public officials in the county government could eat in the cafeteria for free.

If their family members also wanted to eat with them, they would only have to pay thirty wen per person every month.

Xiao Hanzheng had always wanted to improve the food in the county government and improve everyone’s well being, so the food they had every day was not bad.

There would be a meal with meat every other day, and the usual dishes would be vegetables.

Therefore, many of their family members would spend money to get food from the county government office.

Shi Qingluo had invited Zhuo Zheng over for a meal.

When the time came, she would also pay for the food and just say that he had been working with her recently.

“I see that you’re also very tired. You should go back to the inn today and have a good sleep.” She continued with concern.

It wouldn’t work if he didn’t rest well.

Zhuo Zheng thought that Shi Qingluo had taken a liking to him. “Sister, you’re too good. I’ll definitely work hard with you.”

Shi Qingluo nodded at him. “I believe you.”

I’m sure you’ll regret coming to Heyang County.

Then, she asked someone to bring Zhuo Zheng to pack his things for him to move to the inn.

They had previously stayed in the best inn in the county, but after the renovation, it was more comfortable and grand.

Zhuo Zheng entered the room and felt that everything was pleasing to the eye. He went to the bathroom on his floor to take a shower and immediately fell asleep.

When he woke up at night, it was already dark, so he missed the mealtime for those working at the county government office.

Although he had left the workshop, the manager still paid him his wages.

It was also because he had a few hundred wen with him that he could go downstairs to ask the inn to cook for him.

However, the chef had already left.

Therefore, the shopkeeper allowed him to buy canned food and cook a bowl of noodles for him to eat.

Zhuo Zheng was stunned. “You are selling canned food here? ”

“Of course,” the shopkeeper said with a smile. “Any eateries in Heyang County can get canned food from the county government to sell them.

“Mdm Shi said that this is a big feature of our Heyang County, so the whole county must take action to let the guests here experience a feeling of home.”

Zhuo Zheng thought to himself, Shi Qingluo is indeed powerful. No wonder he felt completely different when he checked into the inn again today.

The room had a lot more decorations. For example, the bed had become big and soft, and there was an additional soft couch and a desk.

There was a complete set of writing materials on the study table, and the table by the window was covered with a colored tablecloth with a pot of fresh flowers on it.

There were even green plants in the corner, giving off a warm and comfortable feeling.

What he didn’t expect was that the inn actually sold canned food.
